Background
The Breakers Palm Beach is one of those rare, legacy properties that truly lives up to its reputation. From the moment you arrive, it feels grand yet warm and welcoming—an iconic Italian Renaissance–style resort with hand-painted ceilings, manicured oceanfront grounds, and a sense of timeless luxury that appeals to both first-time visitors and loyal repeat guests.
Originally built in 1896 and beautifully reconstructed in 1926, The Breakers has evolved thoughtfully over generations while preserving its historic soul. Continuous enhancements ensure the property feels polished and current, while still honoring the classic Palm Beach elegance that defines the experience.
Why guests love The Breakers

A standout for families and multi-generational travel
The Breakers is one of the strongest family-friendly luxury resorts in Florida—without ever feeling like a traditional “kids resort.” Thoughtful layouts, a high percentage of connecting rooms, spacious suites, and attentive service make it ideal for families, milestone celebrations, and multi-generational trips where everyone wants both comfort and sophistication.

Pools designed for every travel style
With four distinct pools, guests can easily find their rhythm. Families gravitate toward the main zero-entry pool, while adults appreciate the tranquil 21+ pool near the spa. The South Tower infinity-style pool and beach-end Scout Pool offer additional options that keep the resort feeling balanced and never one-note.
Beach Club, dining & social energy
Dining is a major highlight at The Breakers, with ten restaurants in total—both on-property and off-property—spanning casual beachfront meals to elevated dining experiences, with complimentary shuttle service to select locations. The newly renovated Beach Club restaurant adds a fresh, vibrant oceanfront option, reinforcing why guests love lingering on property rather than feeling the need to venture far.

The Spa at The Breakers
The spa is a true destination in its own right and a major draw for wellness-minded travelers. Featuring prestigious partnerships with Guerlain and Tata Harper, the spa offers a refined yet restorative experience that pairs beautifully with a beach-forward stay—perfect for parents, couples, and anyone looking to truly unwind.

Effortless Palm Beach access with house cars
One of the most appreciated (and often overlooked) luxuries: The Breakers maintains several complimentary town cars available within a five-mile radius. This makes exploring Palm Beach—Worth Avenue shopping, off-property dining, or local experiences—seamless and stress-free.

A favorite for Christmas & holiday escapes
The Breakers truly shines during the holiday season. It’s a beloved choice for Christmas and winter travel, offering a festive yet relaxed alternative to cold-weather destinations. Palm trees wrapped in lights, ocean breezes, seasonal programming, and exceptional service create a magical holiday atmosphere—especially for families looking to start or continue warm-weather traditions.

Need to know
Best timing matters. Peak seasons (especially Christmas, New Year’s, and school holidays) feel festive and energetic, while shoulder periods offer a calmer, more relaxed resort experience—your travel style should guide when you go.
Tower choice makes a difference. The north vs. south tower impacts proximity to pools, beach areas, and overall vibe—small details that can meaningfully affect your stay when traveling with kids or extended family.
Spa appointments should be planned ahead. The Spa at The Breakers—featuring Guerlain and Tata Harper—is extremely popular, particularly during weekends and holidays. Advance planning ensures access to preferred treatments and times.
Bungalows elevate beach day. For families or longer stays, a beach bungalow dramatically enhances the experience by giving you a private, shaded retreat steps from the ocean.
